#92 Linda Christian

Linda Christian looked like a super-model, but actually didn’t get into that many movies – and most of those were B’s anyway. She did, though, notch an interesting combination of firsts and lasts. In particular, she was the first Bond girl and was in the last Tarzan flick.

Okay, okay, the Bond thing was a TV adaption of Casino Royale (and on some series named Climax! which I never heard of). The Tarzan thing did have Johnny Weissmuller in it though. Unfortunately, someone other than Linda played Jane.Ms. Christian was much more famous for her off-screen exploits, especially her many affairs and her jet-setting lifestyle. All in all, she was more famous for being famous than anything else.
